I had to write an essay on it in high school.
I do not remember what I wrote exactly but I tied it in to hamlet's graveyard speech about Alexander the Great now being the dust in a bunch hole.
Sick rhymes though and nice flow

One of my favourites.
It's a great meditation on time and figurative immortality. It also evokes an atmosphere of menace that lingers like Yeats' "Second Coming."
Best episode of break bad

I like the poem but Bryan Cranston is a faggot

Why?
I think of it often, I visited Kairo to see the pyramids in pretty large part because of it.
Whenever someone in tech talks about a coming revolution their company will bring I silently say "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" to myself.
